VB & SQL Server as a package

Hi,
I'm new to using sql server and vb. What I need to know is:
Can I package a sql server database with Visual Basic like I would Ms-Access
and Vb so that the user does not need to separately install SQL server aswell
as the vb application I develop.
Also if this is not possible what alternative databases/methods do you recommend?
I can't use basic recordsets as there are allot of searching and querying
in the vb system I am currently developing.

Re: VB & SQL Server as a package

Use MSDE as your database engine for distribution.
